"Brother Peng, these books are very expensive. I really can't accept them."
"Mao Dan, these are all old books. Aren't you going to a girls' school? I asked someone and found out that you will need these books in the future... Oh, right, just accept them! Is our relationship still missing these few books?"
"By the way, has Fang Chenyu come to harass you recently? I heard that he often goes to brothels recently."
"Ah! He is actually this kind of person?"
"What do you think? Maybe there are children outside..."
Fang Chenyu gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! Why is this bastard Zhang Peng trying to show his kindness? And he's trying to put the blame on me?"
Zhang Xiaobiao chewed on a piece of sugar cane and said, "I have always had a good relationship with Maodan. You used to take Maodan to visit the school and give him extra lessons. You didn't understand what he was learning, so you threw him out of the classroom after learning half of it. The rest was taught by Zhang Peng."
"Damn... How much better is Zhang Peng at studying than me? I just didn't study hard enough!"
"Wouldn't it be best if you ranked eighth from the bottom? Zhang Peng has now passed the exam and has been admitted as a scholar. There is a portrait of Zhang Peng on our school's honor roll."
"Look at his shifty eyes, he even slandered me for going to a brothel? How can he look like a scholar! This kid is so proud after graduation." Fang Chenyu was full of resentment, "And Maodan, why do you want his things! No, I can't stand this, give me your sugar cane..."
Maodan and Zhang Peng were still chatting about something when two masked men suddenly jumped out from the darkness.
Zhang Peng was caught off guard and was strangled by one person. Another person stood beside Maodan and watched him eagerly.
Fang Chenyu took a large sugarcane and hit Zhang Peng's chest several times, then pointed at Maodan who was frightened and at a loss, and scolded him loudly.
"Who told you to have a relationship here?"
Maodan screamed, and Fang Chenyu hurriedly said, "Don't scream! If you scream again, I will kill this dog man first! Then I will deal with you!"
When he heard about murder, Zhang Xiaobiao panicked and whispered, "Really, Brother Fang, stop it."
"Don't worry about it, just keep an eye on that woman!"
"Brother! Brother, don't kill me! I have money!!" Zhang Peng begged for mercy at the top of his lungs, and took out a few banknotes with his trembling hand.
Fang Chenyu snatched the banknote and said disdainfully, "With such a small amount of money, you dare to imitate others and go out to date! It's already so late and you're not home yet. You don't have to go to school tomorrow?!"
"I've already graduated..." Zhang Peng stammered.
"How dare you talk back!" Fang Chenyu said angrily, "After graduation, you don't have to study anymore, and after graduation, you don't have to go out to work!"
Fang Chenyu pointed at Maodan and said, "Hey, why is she so ugly! You found such an ugly woman and brought her out to scare people in the middle of the night. Change her later!"
Zhang Peng whimpered and felt the hand on his neck loosen. He then ran away after being hit hard on his buttocks.
Fang Chenyu sneered, walked towards Maodan, and gestured in front of her with a sugar cane: "I'm telling you, if you want to find a man, you have to find one who can protect you. The one just now is useless!"
"Brother Fang, the police seem to be coming, let's go quickly."
"What are you afraid of, officer? If you're afraid, leave first!"
Fang Chenyu was in high spirits, and just as he finished speaking, a big hand was placed on his shoulder.
The mask on his face was also torn off.
When he looked up, he saw a man as tall as an iron tower, staring down at him: "Master, the master wants you to go home."
"Dad." "Uncle Biao...Uncle Biao."
As the veil fell, Maodan saw who was coming and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Fang Chenyu, it's you again!"
After saying this, he covered his face and ran home.
"Mao Dan, please listen to my explanation."
"Go home, the master is waiting anxiously." Zhang Biao said.
Fang Chenyu sighed deeply and turned to go home.
......
The father and son sat opposite each other at the desk.
Fang Zhengyi said unhappily, "You're not home every day. Do you think you've grown up and become too independent?"
"If something like this happens again, you will be confined to your house for a month and not allowed to go out!"
"Dad, I..."
"Okay, I don't want to hear your explanation. I want you back here for a big event. Dajing's ironclad ship has been built and will be transported to Jiangling Port for inspection by the court. This is a great opportunity to broaden your horizons, and Dad has decided to take you to see it. There will definitely be many court officials there, so you should prepare yourself at home and don't lose your manners in front of others."
"Really? Dad! Then I will prepare well at home in the next few days!" Fang Chenyu stood up excitedly.
Fang Zhengyi sighed, "Sit down! How can you be so startled? If you were half as calm as Your Highness, your father would have less to worry about. You have so many brothers and sisters, can you set a good example?"
"Are you looking for Maodan again tonight? She's so far away, why do you keep looking for her? If you want to get married, Dad will find you someone of equal status."
Fang Chenyu said with a frown: "No need, I can find it myself."
"You can't find a shit! I heard that Mr. Zheng's family has a granddaughter, who is a little older than you, but looks good. Dad will go find one for you someday."
"I don't want it."
"It's okay if you don't want that. Tomorrow you can go to the library of the Zhenfu Division with dad and find someone you like. Dad has already prepared candidates for you. They are all ladies from wealthy families." Fang Zheng smiled complacently.
Abusing public power for personal gain is exactly the point.
"I don't need it! Dad, can you please stop worrying about my own affairs?" Fang Chenyu's face was hot.
"How dare you!" Fang Zheng said angrily, "What do you mean by your business? Do you understand that it's your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words?"
"You are young and don't understand anything. Just accept whatever I arrange for you. What's the good of the cat eggs?"
"As long as I think she's fine, that's enough." Fang Chenyu whispered.
Fang Zheng sneered: "Okay, you admit it, right? From today on, you are not allowed to see her again. If you see her once, I will lock you up. Do you understand?"
Fang Chenyu raised his head abruptly, his eyes full of anger: "Dad! You are too nosy! When I was a child, you told me some free love stories, but you have forgotten them now, right? These are all my private affairs, you don't need to interfere."
"You know that's the story! You are the eldest son in the family, and sooner or later you will have to shoulder the responsibility of this family. If you do whatever you want, wouldn't that be outrageous?! Okay, no more talking, go back to sleep! I'll send someone to find you when we visit the ironclad ship."
Bang!
Fang Chenyu slammed the table so hard that the inkstone shook slightly.
"An old antique!"
He threw down three words and left angrily.
Fang Zheng was stunned and stared blankly outside the door.
Old antique? Me?
Am I an antique?
After being in a daze for a long time, Fang Zheng rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, then sighed.
What my son said makes sense.
I've even been in an arranged marriage. It seems that I'm really old and have been assimilated by the times...
But this little bastard is so damn rebellious! I'll have to teach him a lesson some other day!
